Join us for an evening of stories told by a multi-generational, multi-cultural line up of six amazing Torontonians who will share true, personal stories.

Stories of Ours is a project that aims to deepen community, invite solidarity, and enact social change through intentional acts of storytelling.

Storytelling is more than entertainment - it is a deeply immersive vehicle for social change.

With deep community comes deep unity and, best of all, the conditions for momentum and action.

It's simple: we listen.

By listening, we build trust and diversify our experiences. We are provoked to reflect and grow.

With this trust and diversity of experience, we build empathy.

With this empathy, we are empowered to change our behaviour and perspective. It may affect how we parent, or vote. It may affect how we move through spaces, or the words we choose to use.
